Harry’s POV
It was one day before Louis’ birthday, I had double checked with Vanessa that Louis was definitely going to be home when I was going to surprise him. They had also agreed to help out, but by ‘them’ I meant’ Vanessa and Niall, they were going to help light the candles. The weather was holding up perfectly which I was very grateful for. I had gotten some amazing pastry from Zoe’s boyfriend, Liam which was very good. He made lots of food and Vanessa normally sent me some to eat, it was like heaven on a plate.
I had the pastry in the fridge and was currently wrapping his present, it was my necklace, a paper plane. The one I had worn before he had met me. On several occasions he had played with it. He knew how much it meant to me so I guess in a way it was somewhat the ultimate gift. I just hoped he would forgive me first.
I finished wrapping it, sticking a neat yellow bow on the top and smiling at it.
Louis’ POV
IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!! I walked to the Pizza Hut buffet, spotting Vanessa, Zoe, Niall and Liam at a table, I quickly made my way over before the snotty receptionist could tell me off.
“Hey guys” I smiled.
“Happy Birthday!” Vanessa grinned handing me a present.
“Awe you shouldn’t have” I blushed, I sat down next to Niall opening it and nearly bursting into tears.
“Oh my gosh, Vanessa” I mumbled, looking up at her.
“Do you like it?” she asked peering around Niall.
“Yes! Now let me hug you” I let one tear slip as I hugged her.
I took out my phone, replacing my current case with the one she had given me. She had photo shopped me and Harry together, he was kissing my cheek and I was smiling like a fool, but I loved it.
“How did you even do this?” I asked.
“I have my ways” she replied smugly.
I received gifts from others, loving them all.
“So can we eat pizza now?” Niall asked.
“Yeah sure, lets go”
We all headed to all the different ranges of pizza, Vanessa and Niall instantly fighting over the last piece of meat lovers.
She huffed as she moved on the cheese pizza, turning her head up at Niall who held the last piece in victory.
I watched as he looked like a lost child as she continued ignoring him. He was persistent to get her to look at him, he finally got tired of her silent treatment. Constricting her in his arms and letting her take a bite out of the last piece. She seemed happy with that, kissing him on the cheek and hugging him back.
Vanessa wasn’t one to hold a grudge and never seemed to. She always was happy within minutes, forgiving anyone quickly. That’s why she was the best to play a prank on, her reaction was priceless and she forgave you by the next day.
We all made our way back to the table, eating on the pieces of pizza we had chosen.
Niall was playfully feeding Vanessa, always ‘accidentally’ getting it on her cheek and having to kiss it off. Not like she seemed to mind.
We all chatted happily with each other, having a blast and being little kids. I thought Liam was sensible, not anymore I don’t. Zoe and Liam were both on sugar highs, playing around with each other and running around the place, but I think I spotted them making out against a wall. I decided to leave them.
We all headed back to Zoe and Vanessa’s place since it was the biggest and we played truth or dare.
“Ok Niall, Truth or dare?” Vanessa asked.
“Dare” he grinned.
“Alright, I dare you to…” she paused, thinking up a dare.
I suddenly got an idea, whispering it to her.
“Give your self a makeover” she giggled.
